I chose to use the Web 2.0 Tool Prezi. I have seen it a few times in YouTube videos that I have watched for work meetings and conferences, but have never dabbled in it myself until now. I actually assumed that it was a program for sale, which is true, but never knew that there was a free program out there on the web.
As a manager, I am constantly looking into new ways to get information out to my team. I find myself using Powerpoint and Keynote for presentations which can be enticing for a few slides, but I find myself embedding a lot of sound and other text effects to keep my team intrigued and paying attention to the updates and facts. This is taxing, as the extra effects takes a decent amount of extra time to add these extra components to the presentation. Using Prezi puts an extra component to it, as it is a clean cut presentation, as well as an attracting module that keeps the most unattached observer engaged in the learning prospect of the demonstration.
Prezi allows a few different preview settings, as you are able to set it for a timing factor for time-specific presentations, as well as the ability to move at your pace as the presenter. It also gives the presenter or author the ability to add an additionally context to the piece, as you can create any sort of shape that the presentation is originally developed into, and creatively input a new facet on the appearance of the piece. The idea behind Prezi is to make any corporate meeting intriguing and enticing for every audience.
Erin, we used Prezi earlier in the program, and it's a great new way to create presentations. It's quite amazing the availability of great Web 2.0 programs like these, especially since they are free. Thanks for the great explanation!
